State Capital Notes.

AUSTIN. Jan. SIT Is understood
that the people Of the west affected by
the drouth will ask for legislation cal
culated to give more efiectual relief
than a remission Of taxes and post
ponement Of payments on school,
lands. One proposition is, that the
counties affected by the drouth shall
have authority to issue county bonds,
and with the proceeds furnish the
needy with seed and supplies. These
bond. are to be ind rsed by the State,
and the State is to guarantee the pay
ment Of interest and sinking fund. 1t
is understood that good law
yers have advised that this
plan is constitutional. The members
of the Legislature are coming in on
every train, together with numerous
candidates for legislative Offices At
torney General Hogg, Lieut.. Gov.
Wheeler, Senator Jarvis and Repre-
scntatives Sharp, of Milan; Wood, of
Bristol; Miner, of Rusk; Heath, of
Rockwell: Dittimer, of Palo Pinto;
Camp, of Limestone; Pendleton, of
Bell: Cone, of Wilson; Waskom, of
Terrell and Steele, of Freestonc, have
arrived.
1t was reported sometime ago that
the railroad lobby had secured head
quarters at the Driskill. Since then
couple Of railroad men who were here
left without engaging quarters. y
careful inquiry results in a failure to
discover any engagement at any OF
the hotels by the railroads. One Of
them stated that they had no fears of
the twentieth Legislature interfe. ing
with the progress of actual rail
way construction in Texas and alobby
was not necessary. The best lobbying
is being done by the expenditure Of
money in extending the road.
The senatorial contest is waxing
warm. At the Driskill to-day an Ire
land man offered to bet $500 that the
governor would read all opponents on
the first ballot. A Terrell man signi-
fed desire to accept the wager, but
somehow the bet or bluff was with
drawn. 1t is stated by parties on the
inside that the struggle will be to cap
ture the grange members and labor
representatives after the first ballot.
Tho understanding is that Ireland,
Terrell and Reagan are all &C
ceptable, with perhaps Terrell the
favorite; that Maxey is not thought
of by this element, and that as be-
tween Ireland and Reagan they would
divide on sectional lines. The propo-
sition to bring large number of mill
tary companies here to participate in
the Inauguration is attributed to
schemers in the senatorial canvass.
The military would not participate in
the contest, but it is assumed that the
officers are kindly disposed to the adj
ministration. The suggestion, doubt
less, had no such origin, but was from
a desire to honor popular military
chieftain elected to the highest Office
in the State. Any such use of the
m litary would establish the truth OF
the charge of combination between
the governor and Gen. Ross which
was made during the canvass, when
the adjutant general warmly espoused
the cause of Gen Ross.

OF the many plans proposed for the
relief of the drouth sufferers of the
west. that outlined by Mr.. Pendleton
of Bell county, candidate for Speaker
of the House, appears to be the most
feasible and least Objectionable. 1t is
to authorize the issuance of county
bonds by the counties affected to meet
ethe necessities of the case, rs may be
determined by the local authorities,
the bonds to be endorsed by the State
and placed upon the market by the
State authorities. 1t is certain that
( bonds so issued would command a
fair price in the market, and, indeed,
would afford a profitable Investment
for the State school fund, which has
BEN heretofore invested in county
bonds issued for various purposes.
The finances of the State will not adj
NIT of a direct appropriation OF
, money to the sufferers without an in-
crease of taxation, and 1t is doubtful
if relief from taxation can be granted
the drouth stricken section without
increasing taxes. The State goverl-
ment has been for several years past
and is still being run on avery narrow
margin of cash surplus in the treas
ury, and any appropriation outside
of ordinary expenses will necessi'ate
an increase of the subjects of taxation
or in the rate itself Any legislation
affecting finances that does not keep
in view this fact is liable to result in a
deficiency during the next two years,
which would effect the whole state.
The scrip of the state would be thrown
on the market and trouble which is
now local and easily managed would
be generalizcd and felt by all who are
in the service of the state government.
